NOMBE YOUNG HEARTS

It’s time to get all romantic with some sweet electronic soul in the form of NoMBe’s new song ‘Young Hearts’. A smooth electric guitar line ushers in a rush of nostalgic love complemented beautifully with Noah McBeth’s hazy, lo-fi vocals. However, it’s not all hushed sweet nothings and minimalist strings. For example, at the half way point McBeth’s surprises with a gritty, soulful declaration, “it could be amazing!”, with a synthetic wave that you’d fully expect to be followed by some beefy drop. Fortunately, the Los Angeles songwriter-producer isn’t so predictable and instead gives us some jittery trap, a post-Internet melody and more of those lustful frets. With previous single ‘Wait’, ‘Young Hearts’ is another taste of his debut They Might’ve Even Loved Me LP, which will steadily meet our ears over the next ten months. - HT
